Maven, Cactus, and changing classpath for container startup (part 2)

[Ma...@VerizonWireless.com]

Vincent,
	I would like to take advantage of the pathelement feature of
containerclasspath with maven:

<containerclasspath>
	...
	<pathelement path="/some/path/here" />
</containerclasspath>

So that I can add a directory to the container classpath (I have
*.properties files that the code depends on).

This one seems straightforward.  If a new property is added (something like
cactus.container.classpath.path).   If the property is detected add an extra
pathelement before starting up the container.

If you approve, I don't mind working on the enhancement.

thanks,
Marc

I will start implementing it today.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Marc,

There is a way in the Ant task by using the <containerclasspath> nested
element. 

However, this containerclasspath is not exposed in the Maven plugin for
Cactus. Here's how I would do it if you're interested to implement it: by
adding a special property tag in project.xml for the dependencies (e.g.
cactus.container.classpath) and then iterating over those in jelly to add to
the <containerclasspath> element.

Thanks
-Vincent

PS: I'll have a look today at your patch you've submitted yesterday. Thanks
